Handling returned parameters with SOAP and Java

The problem I see is that the method takes an array as input for the member_defs.

void get_member_active_states( 
    in String pool_name, 
    in IPPortDefinition [] member_defs, 
    out MemberState[] member_states);

You are passing in a single value:

 MemberStatisticsEntry[] PoolMembers = (MemberStatisticsEntry[]) resp.getReturnValue().getValue(); 
 for (int i=0; i < PoolMembers.length; i++) { 
  
 >>    PoolParams.addElement(new Parameter("member_defs", IPPortDefinition.class,PoolMembers[i].getMember_definition(), null)); 
  
     call.setParams(PoolParams); 
     call.setMethodName("get_member_active_states"); 
     resp = call.invoke(destURI, urn); 
     //this is wrong below 
     MemberState[] PoolMemberState = (MemberState[]) resp.getReturnValue().getValue(); //this is wrong

You can either

1. Pass in an array of size 1 (right now you are just passing in the element).

-or-

2. Create an array of all the member_defs and pass them in a single call:

// Extract statistics return value 
 MemberStatisticsEntry[] PoolMembers = (MemberStatisticsEntry[]) resp.getReturnValue().getValue();  
  
 // build input array 
 long num_members = PoolMembers.length; 
 IPPortDefinition [] member_defs = new IPPortDefinition[num_members]; 
  
 for(int i=0; i { 
     member_defs[i] = PoolMembers[i].getMember_definition(); 
 } 
  
 PoolParams.addElement(new Parameter("member_defs", IPPortDefinition[].class, member_defs, null)); 
 call.setParams(PoolParams); 
 call.setMethodName("get_member_active_states"); 
 resp = call.invoke(deskURI, urn); 
  
 // Extract return values...

That would explain the error of element "address" not found. It's expecting an array in and you are passing it by value.
